My Friday Night

My sons (Gavin and Elijah) are in Boy Scouts. So, this is what I did on Friday night:

Elijah's Boa constrictor pine wood race car.

Gavin's car.

Gavin, very excited about his prospects of being the Pinewood Derby champion.

Sibling Rivalry: oddly enough, Elijah and Gavin had to square off against each other in their first race. It was a random drawing to see who went against who.

Gavin and Elijah (left to right) patiently wait for the race results.

Elijah hoping for the best.

Elijah getting excited as the cars are released while his friend Zach sways in a zombie like trance.

Elijah's car at the end of the track after beating Gavin's car. Elijah was 4-0 against Gavin, which didn't make for a very happy Gavin.

But Gavin was still very gracious in defeat. Although he won all the races that were not against his brother. Also, our sons were the only siblings to race against each other even though there were at least 4 families with multiple boys in Boy Scouts. Very weird.

The Pinewood Derby is an annual event put on by the Boy Scouts. It was a new experience for me because I didn't do Boy Scouts growing up, and quite honestly probably wouldn't have signed my boys up for it if they hadn't asked to be in Boy Scouts. Their friends are in Boy Scouts so I couldn't really deny them.

We didn't get home until 9:30 pm. So, we ended up picking up Culver's because it started at 6 pm and we didn't have time for dinner before the Pinewood Derby started.
